"It went very well, and everything was cleaned up when they were finished.
All of the leaves had fallen, so I will get a better view of the results when the trees leaf out in spring.

was reasonably priced, prompt, and did a great job. I had also called one other tree service that also had good reviews on Angie's" ...More List but

had a better price and was able to get to it faster. When I called, he stopped out the next day and gave an estimate. When I decided to go with them, they came out the next following week and promptly got the job done. This was in a confined space in the back of our yard. The tree was on the rear property line, near the rear

and our garage, and a good portion of if over the neighbor's house. I was not there when he did the work but it was an excellent job and everything was cleaned up.

Trees grow slowly so you can't afford to make a mistake by planting them in the wrong location or overlooking something that puts the tree at risk. Tree care is something most homeowners can do on their own, but an expert should be called if a tree is showing signs of disease or if limbs need to be removed.

Once you begin to consider hiring a professional tree removal service, you must decide whether to have the stumps removed or not. With these tips, you can make an educated decision as to whether it is worth it.

Angie's Answers

I would strongly suggest sending your neighbors a certified letter stating that, per your earlier conversation, you consider this tree to be a hazard due to its proximity to the power lines. Then, when and if something bad does happen, you will have a record of having informed them of it and they won't be able to say "we didn't know."

You say the county has told you it is the neighbor's problem. Did you contact the local electric company? They should care very much about the situation.

I would also recommend taking lots of pictures showing the proximity of the tree to the wires and that it is obviously dead.

Dead trees do sometimes stay vertical for a very long time, but it sounds like a tense situation for you. I understand your desire to not inflame the situation, but it doesn't sound like there is anything more you can do that won't have the potential to do so. So it becomes your responsibility to look after your own interests in the most reasonable way possible.

For my money, never ? I do a walk-around yearly in the summer (when easy to work on and before the heavy fall winds in our area) and look for trees with dead crowns, losing branches everywhere but at the crown, brown branches (evergreens) or leafless branches, leaning trees, trees with visible rot, trees with major bark loss, trees with seriously damaged or eroded away roots, etc. If none of those symptoms, then I call our 100 or so trees good for the year.

Of course, the bigger the trees and the likelihood of house damageor powerline loss (especially in winter) if there is a major branch or tree fall comes into play also. I trim and cut my own trees when needed regardless of size, so my level of confidence in being able to handle anything comes into it.

If you are worried about one or more trees, call an arborist to check them out - then I would say unless there is evidence of damage - ESPECIALLY leaning trees or major branches not leafing like the rest of the tree - I would not worry having them looked at more frequently than every 10 years or so.

“

These 2 employees did an outstanding job of cleaning-up my yard, front & back. They removed ALL leaves from my lawn & gardens as well as cut my lawn. They bagged all the debris. And all this on a very cold day without the convenience of equipment they used in warm weather. Professional, hard workers. This is my ' go to ' landscaping business .”

We have used M & M Tree Care for a number of years and are extremely satisfied with the work they do and their clean up afterward. This particular job was unusual in that buckthorn and ratty looking bushes and shrubs were cut back by us, leaving lots of stumps and stubble in a very large area. We wanted to eventually plant grass in the cleared ...More area. M & M used a stump grinder to sweep the area free of the stumps and stubble. It took more than 3 hours to do the job and it was well done. All the areas we marked for clearing were taken care of and now is ready to rake and plant grass seed next spring.”

I contacted

Lawncare to do my home fall clean ups because I herniated a disk.

& I communicated over email and after some initial miscommunications about when I was available we met at my home to get an estimate.
I explained I needed mine and my neighbors front yards raked because it is our ...More tree that drops in their yard and I usually raked them. We walked along the side of the house and to the backyard. Again said I needed leaf removal of both of those areas as well. Additionally, I needed one last mowing. I was given what I thought was a fair price for the work needing to be done.
After the meeting I received an email with a pdf attachment from

on 11/3/2014 and my mistake was I assumed it outlined the services to be performed. Here is where my mistake came in. I didn't open it.
His crew arrived and my wife greeted them and they said they were scheduled only to do the front yards. My wife explained this to me. I went out to discuss with a crew member and the gentleman said there is now way that was the estimate because "we would

our a****." I opened the for the first time thinking I could show them here are the services to be completed. It was just a letter saying thanks for the business. No details of services to be provided. I immediately called

and got voicemail. My wife followed up with a text and

responded saying we never even went to the backyard! However he agreed to do all of the services requested. The crew did a great job.
I emailed

on 11/5/2014 stating I thought the crew did great and clearly we've been miscommunicating and would be happy to have him out to review our property for a revised estimate. No response.
His crew arrived again today (11/13/2014) and only did the front yards again. My wife called to tell me this. I immediately emailed

discontinuing our service. I tried texting then calling as a follow up, but I got an invalid number message.
In person,

was great and seemed very trustworthy. I sold my wife on not needing another estimate because I trusted him and Angie's list.”

I highly recommend

& Gardens. We first contacted

at

& Gardens when a huge old walnut tree in our back yard was compromised and we didn’t trust its branches any more. It had to come down. But that was going to have a big impact on the comfort and landscaping in our ...More back yard.

had the idea of taking down just certain parts of the tree, and then using those parts to build something else onto the tree’s

—the “fort” that our two sons had been dreaming of for years! The end results were both beautiful and magical. And

’s creativity and enthusiasm were so contagious that we even ended up adding a deck to the project! He and his crew were a real pleasure to work with. Our neighbors even complimented the GR&G crew on their friendliness and enthusiasm during the time they were working on the project. A great company, with great and passionate people.

This team, lead by operations manager Geofrey, did an excellent job. The gardens were cleaned perfectly. There was not a single leaf left on my lawn, in my driveway, on my patio, or on my sidewalk. My bushes and trees were sculpted beautifully. This business is A+. I will not hesitate to hire them again.”

They have treated my oak trees. I've also had branches fall from my oaks and they've come out and removed them. They also trimmed them. I am familiar with them and I believe they do great work.”
